The SDRC examines paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, jewelry and other works submitted to SDRC and evaluates their authenticity as well as their contribution to Dalí's body of work. It draws upon a uniquely qualified group of experts and advisors for a scholarly, unbiased analysis regarding the many aspects of this great artist's remarkable and varied oeuvre.

By identifying and defining Dalí's artistic and intellectual achievements, the SDRC facilitates a better understanding of the character and nature of the artist's entire oeuvre, as represented in museums, private collections, galleries, and for sale at auction and on the internet.

The misrepresentation of Dalí's oeuvre and the sale of dubious Dalí works has plagued the art market for decades. Reproductions of Dalí's originals, and non-Dalí creations attributed to him, run the gamut of artistic production, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints and jewelry. Since its inception, SDRC has reviewed numerous works submitted to it and determined, after careful study and research, that a significant number are questionable.

The SDRC sponsors seminars and lectures for its members on all aspects of Dali's life and works.

The SDRC neither buys nor sells art.

The SDRC has created a comprehensive database and library concerning Dalí. It continues and expands the work of the late Albert Field, founder of the US Dalí Archive. The SDRC has compiled a collection of photographs of Dalí's works, some unique.

Contributions and gifts to the library and archive are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Various categories of membership are available. Memberships begin at $250 per year, with various benefits according to category. Certain levels include complimentary study of works by Dalí owned by the member.
